Period charm meets luxurious living

Situated in one of the oldest, prettiest parts of Minehead, you’ll find this beautiful thatched cottage. Sleeping eight, it’s a large house with four comfortable en-suite bedrooms – all individually designed.

The impressive cream country kitchen is fully equipped with a butler's double sink, range-style cooker, microwave, dishwasher, fridge-freezer and separate fridge, plus lots of storage. For informal dining, there's a rustic wooden table and six chairs. You'll find a fridge-freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer in the small lobby off the kitchen. From the kitchen another door opens out into a boot room with a recycling point, cleaning cupboard, and yet more storage for coats and shoes.

The dining room overlooks the small terrace garden at the rear of the house. This long, bright room has seating for eight. Entertainment in this room includes an iPod and, for the children, a well-stocked toy chest. A high-chair is available upon request.

There is a sumptuous sitting room at Pilgrim Corner. Spacious and airy, it can comfortably seat ten or more in sofas, armchairs and window seats. A bureau, which is tucked in a corner next to the squint window (used in past times to see who was at the front door), contains writing materials, guide books and visitor information packs. A wood-burning stove adds a cosy feel on colder nights. There's a selection of games, jigsaws and puzzles for all ages. And, for your digital delight, there's a large HD TV with Sky, Netflix and a Blu-ray player.

A beautiful cottage-style garden and circular hot tub complete the property. From the flagstone terrace the full extent of the garden is almost hidden. Walk further along the path and the garden gradually reveals itself. If you are very lucky, at this moment you'll hear the clock strike in the nearby St Michael's Church that forms an imposing backdrop to the scene.

Passing terraced beds of spring or summer flowers you'll go through the rose arch and find yourself in a secret garden with its secluded summerhouse 'Pilgrim's Folly', perfect for long, lazy afternoons. And that's where you'll find the hot tub and changing cabin.

As with all our cottages, Pilgrim Corner is suitable for families with children, couples and larger adult-only groups. Dogs are welcome on request. Linen and central heating are included in the rental (please bring your own beach towels for use in the hot tub).

There is roadside parking 50 yards away from the property.

As it is located next door to The Old Sweet Shop, which sleeps eight, we can now accommodate larger parties, depending on availability. Please contact us for more details.

Pilgrim Corner has been awarded the Customer Choice Award from cottages.com two years running, in 2016 and 2017. This award is based on guest feedback provided to independent review site Reevoo over 12 months.

Exmoor Character Cottages

We love Exmoor. It’s a beautiful and often overlooked part of the country. As a guest once wrote in a Visitors’ Book: “We asked ourselves why we had driven past Somerset for years when everything we wanted and more was here.” To one side is the sea and inviting beaches, to another purple heather humming with bees on the moor, plus magical ancient woods...

Everything about The Old Sweet Shop - the kitchen, the bedrooms, the lounge with its log burner, the hot tub, and the quality and attention to detail throughout - more than met our high expectations set by Pilgrim Corner next door... I'm sure that Minehead's Old Sweet Shop will appeal to 'allsorts' - but, hopefully, not 'hundreds and thousands' of them! Ideally, we'd love it to remain our little 'iced gem'.

"Our first trip to Dunster and The Oval, both were fantastic! What a brilliant family holiday – we will be back! The house is spacious, we had five adults and a two-and-a-half-year-old grandson and we felt very comfortable. The location is a great base, with easy access to the beach, the steam railway and Exmoor. The village is lovely, with a number of great places to eat. We are planning to return."

"We are not sure where to start…what an amazing place to stay! Stone Barn is amazing. Everything is done to perfection, from the kitchen utensils to towels and bed linen. There was nothing we needed….it was in a cupboard or drawer. The hot tub was such a treat and was used every evening by us. We ventured out every day and we all had our favourite. Thank you for an amazing week in a perfect location and the amazing Stone Barn, we loved every minute."

"Amazing spacious cottage with a spectacular garden. Everyone was catered for, from two babies to eight adults and a dog! The little touches and attention to detail made our stay all the more enjoyable. It’s not often I have all my children under one roof, thank you for the memories we’ve made."

"Wow!! What a wonderful place. We had a fantastic four days, we couldn’t have wanted for anything – everything was thought of. The family came away for our mother’s 80th birthday and it was perfect – lovely and peaceful – just what we all needed. The cottage is outstanding, and the garden is beautiful. Lovely walks were had by all! We will return and will highly recommend to others. Thank you."
